About

Product Manager / Product Owner / Project Manager / BA / Developer (US - East Coast)

My name is Chad Hurka and my recent professional positions have included Product Manager and Product Owner positions. I started my career as a Software Engineer and I have continued to foster a deep interest in programming. I maintain my technical expertise through Udemy courses and hobby projects. Most recently I completed an Amazon AWS course and also an Angular course. I find that keeping my technical experience current helps immensely when working as a product manager or a product owner because not only does it increase my credibility when working with software engineers, it also improves my understanding of certain technical requirements.

I have experience in a number of industries including fintech (Broadridge Financial Solutions), healthcare (ZOLL Data Systems), and logistics (FedEx). In my opinion, these experiences have broadened my working knowledge and made me a well rounded professional.

I’ve worked on SaaS applications with 300,000 users, mobile applications with 100,000 users (both Android and iOS), and enterprise applications. My experience also includes high-value SaaS applications with contract values starting at $1 Million. I’ve brought applications from concept stage all the way to the first sale and beyond in addition to leading mature, robust, flagship products.

I'm comfortable working in many roles, from those mentioned above all the way to developer roles. I'm highly confident in my SQL skills, in addition to PHP and Javascript as my strongest languages.

Outside of work, I work as a volunteer firefighter and I hold a number of professional certifications related to those activities. I’ve also authored two books - one as an individual and one as a collaborative effort.

I look forward to the opportunity to work for your organization.
